Viewing The Mac Address; Kns Operation - Kenwood TS-890S Instruction Manual

15 NETWORK/KNS OPERATION
This transceiver does not support IPv6.
●
This transceiver supports ping and other ICMP
●
responses.
The Ethernet standard used on this transceiver is
●
100BASE-TX. Use a commercially available cable that
is Category 5 (Cat5) or higher.
When connecting to a hub or broadband router, make
●
use of a commercially available straight cable.
Turn off the power of this transceiver and the device to
●
connect to before connecting the cable.
Even when the IP address is acquired automatically, IP
●
address cannot be configured in an environment where
a DHCP server is not used.
When the IP address is acquired automatically, the IP
●
address, subnet mask, default gateway, primary DNS
server and secondary DNS server are grayed out and a
parameter cannot be input.
When an IP address is automatically acquired and
●
configured for this transceiver, the configured IP address
is displayed in the IP address setting.
Setting DHCP to ON updates the parameter. If an
●
address is not acquired, the address field will remain
blank.
The address may not be acquired immediately after
●
DHCP is set to ON.
Even when the IP address is configured while DHCP is
●
OFF, this IP address will be displayed when DHCP is set
to ON.

KNS Operation

KNS (KENWOOD NETWORK COMMAND SYSTEM) is a
collective term that refers to the system for remotely operating a
KENWOOD transceiver via the network such as the Internet or
LAN. Operation using this system is referred to as "KNS
operation".

●
operations, and "TS-890S KENWOOD NETWORK
COMMAND SYSTEM Setting Manual" can be

System Configuration Overview
Basic Configuration for Remote Operation through the Internet
To operate the TS-890S remotely through the Internet using KNS,
configure the system as shown in Figure 1.

Router
Remote PC with
ARCP-890
.
Figure 1: Basic System Configuration
Under this configuration, the TS-890S performs login authentication
of the remote user (administrator and registered user) operating the
ARCP-890, followed by control command communication after
authentication is complete. Voice communication is carried out by
the TS-890S and ARCP-890 via the built-in VoIP.
Administrator refers to the owner of or person in charge
●
of managing the transceiver. Registered user refers to a
user other than the administrator who is authorized to
operate this transceiver remotely via KNS. A registered
user needs to be registered in advance by the
administrator to the KNS users list in the TS-890S.
Configuration when Using ARVP-10 or a Non-
KENWOOD VoIP for Voice Communication
When using ARVP-10 or a non-KENWOOD VoIP application
software program for voice communication, configure the system
as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: System Configuration when Using a Non-
KENWOOD VoIP Application
Under this configuration, voice communication between the
remote PC and host PC is carried out using the ARVP-10 or a non-
KENWOOD VoIP application software.
Voice communication between the host PC and the TS-890S is
carried out using the USB audio function (via USB cable
connection) or by extracting analog audio output signal (ANO) and
analog audio input signal (ANI) from the ACC 2 connector,
followed by connecting to the audio input/output connector of the
PC sound card. The configuration of components other than that
for voice communication are the same as the basic configuration.
